  2. Dismissed from my program less than a week before finals!!! Please Help!

    lalalalexi replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Students

  3. New grad with no clinical skills

    lalalalexi replied to malone2192's topic in General Nursing

    I know that at my nursing school (an ADN program) skills were really hit hard. We had to pass competencies (instructor watching as we performed skills on dummies) and also had to do the skills in...

  5. what do you do when a patient cries

    lalalalexi replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has given such great responses! And it's nice knowing how many of you are so caring out there. I think, in a way, I am also afraid to show that I care because I know that sometimes if I stay...

  6. Physical Capacity Profile testing?

    lalalalexi replied to pandora44's topic in General Nursing

    I had to do this for my job now. They were very vague with me too and I didnt know what to expect. Make sure you wear comfortable clothes! I wore jeans and sandals and this made things a little...

  8. Any info on Red Lake Minn. Hospital

    lalalalexi replied to MacERRN's topic in General Nursing

    Red Lake is an American Indian reservation. And yes it is in the middle of no where in northern Minnesota. If working with low-income minorities is what you're looking for, I say do it. I, however,...

  10. shift differentials not as common as i thought?

    lalalalexi posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am somewhat confused about my hiring pay rate. I am a LPN who just finished my program this spring. This coming fall I start the RN year. I have a bachelor's degree already in a non-nursing field....

  11. shift differentials not as common as i thought?

    lalalalexi replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    There is no law keeping me from being a CNA since I have my CNA certificate. If I were just a LPN, there might be a problem. I also know RNs who are currently working as LPNs. Maybe where you live has...

  12. shift differentials not as common as i thought?

    lalalalexi replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I went into this knowing I would not be paid the same as a LPN since I will not be working as a LPN. Once I am done with the RN program, I want to work in a large hospital and that is why I decided on...
